Chapter 422 - Ancient Blood II

Lory eyes glue on the gemstone 'Protecting soul huh, maybe….?'

[Don't even dream about it!] suddenly Girsha's voice rose on her head.

[What, I don't think anything…] Lory pursed her lips.

[Your soul is not like Beast soul, you think Lucient soul is like cabbaged that you can find anywhere besides you making a contract with the fallen God, you think a simple stone could protect you, if it was that easy we will never fall into this situation!] Girsha rattles exasperatedly before lory has another stupid idea.

Lucient souls are very precious compare to any soul in the world, it's strong, clean, and pure, There was a reason why God's choose Lucient and his heirs to rule the world. But her l.u.s.trous soul can only be known by powerful being like him or Huo Long the red dragon. For intelligent beast like the sacred Beast, they can only feel like soaking in a hot spring on winter snow and the ancient blood on her veins also make the beast feel familiarity, that's why the sacred beast could ignore Shin Jiu who supposed to be the "blessed child' and drawn to Lory instead and for other beasts who lack power and intelligent….well they just have strong urged to devour her. While for a Demon like Lazarus Lory's soul is like a drug for addicted people.

When she was in Harland the Beast always attack her relentlessly, they can ignore other prey and chasing her instead, Lory though it something about him pissing off the beast no matter where she goes, only a few people know about this including her father king Marcus but none of them explained it to Lory or Lucas, of course, they have their own reason, for Marcus he thought is a good way to trained his children awareness and strength and for Girsa….he just thought it's funny watching her run around while chasing by the horde of Beast.

[I know-I know, geez…calm down oldie, I'm just curious though] Lory roll her eyes, she knew it won't be that easy.

"How is that stone works?" Lory asked Zhao Li Xin curiously.

"The stone can give momentarily protection to the beast soul while I m killing Nan Yu Qi, the moment before she lost her one last breath it will become the crucial moment because that when the contract reacted, we only need to preserve the beast soul until Nan Yu Qi soul moves on to the afterlife, after that the contract would be automatically broken and this little beast would survive" he explained everything patiently because Lory seems to care with the little beast wellbeing, make Zhao Li Xin annoyed a little bit.

Lory tilted her head "So, the contract is the bomb and Nan Yu Qi soul is the detonator" Lory pinch her chin as she contemplating. It is like two people handcuff with a bomb when Nan Yu Qi's soul destroys it will activate the bomb but if they can protect the Little beast soul from the blast he will be fine and after the blast subside he would be automatically free.

"Deto...what?" Zhao Li Xin confused.

"Okay I get it!" Lory clapped her hands "So what should we do, he should wear it or what?" Lory glance at the small gemstone on Zhao Li Xin's palm.

"He has to swallow it after the contract establishes between Nan Yu Qi and him" said Zhao Li Xin.

Lory squints her eyes, eating gemstones didn't sound healthy for her, what if the little guy has constipated instead, she doubts there would a be a veterinarian in this world "You sure about this, you don't think he will get a stomachache?" Lory pulls the little cub closely inside her embrace as she looks reluctant.

Zhao Li Xin jealous watching her concern with the little beast, why she never concern with him like that. He feel rather dejected but if Lory heard about Zhao Li Xin thought she would ask if he sure he wants her to treat him like a dog? And if the little cub heard Lory thought he would remind her that he is not a dog but A powerful Shadow tiger!

"Do you trust me?" Zhao Li Xin said in a low voice.

"I do!" Lory quickly reply.

"It settles then…" he still annoyed so he sighs heavily and becomes quiet.

Zhao Li Xin rarely mad at her, Lory could c.u.n.t with her fingers how many time he would mad at her and mostly is because her fault so she feel worried when Zhao Li Xin turn silent. Lory puts the little cub on the side then she reaches Zhao Li Xin's hand.

"Are you mad?" Lory bites her lips anxiously.

He glances at Lory for a second before he averts his eyes "No…"

Lory pursed her lips "You lie, why don't you look at me?"

Zhao Li Xin can't handle her pleading so he looks at her "I'm looking at you now…" he said with a flat tone.

"Sorry, I just worry a little bit, don't mad okay…" she leans forward then she pecks his cheeks.

Just like a stream of cold water, his anger subsides without a trace even Zhao Li Xin himself ashamed how easy he was being persuaded. He submitted to his fate as a henpecked husband. On the other hand Lory is a relief after she is able to coax him.

[Lory…this little one, I smell something from him…] Girsha suddenly perches on the little cub head. The little tiger becomes scared again he pressed his head to the ground and cover his face with his tiny paws.

Lory glare at girsha then she shoves Girsha from the little cub head and lifts the little tiger back on her l.a.p [What do you mean?] she asked.

Girsha sniffed [It's smelled faintly, maybe because it didn't awaken yet…hm, this is Interesting] there's a glint in the bird's green eyes.

[Hey birdie, what are you thinking?] she becomes impatient.

"What are you talking about?" this time Zhao Li Xin join in.

Lory shrug her shoulder "I don't know, Girsha said smell something from this little one?" 

Zhao Li Xin's face turns dark "Is the beast poop?" he lifts the beast from Lory l.a.p, the little cub becomes anxious again when he was held by Zhao Li Xin. 

The little cub begin to bawl with a small growl and his little body strongly shaken, Lory feel bad for the little cub she take the cub away from Zhao Li Xin "No, not that….calm down baby, it's fine, this big man will not hurt you, why is this guy so scared of you and Girsha?" Lory perplexed.

"Maybe he is a coward" he nonchalantly said.

"Psst, don't say that what if you embarrassed this little guy" Lory quickly close the tiger cub ears.

"Why are you keep holding him" Zhao Li Xin becomes more annoyed.

"Because this guy is small and cute~" Lory face flushed while rubbing her cheek on the cub furry head.

"...." His annoyance finally reaches his peak, he wrapped his hand around her shoulder then he pulls her close to his c.h.e.s.t.

Lory was stunned, her head hit Zhao Li Xin's c.h.e.s.t and she almost drops the little cub "What are you doing!" she complains.

"I also like holding small and cute creatures" he casually said.

Lory blushed as her face turn red "Stupid!" she pretends to be angry.

Meanwhile Huo Long and Girsha watch them with a dark face.

'That dammed couple still flirt anytime, anywhere, huh' Girsa twitch his inexistence eyebrows.

'Ancestor, I think they forgot we are here' Huo long feel happy for Zhao Li Xin but at the same time he feel sad. He also wants to find a female dragon too, but he needs to find a mortal body first but again is no use….is dragon still exist in this world? So lonely….

"Li Xin, wait don't touch that…. it tickles ~" 

"Oh, how about here"

"No…hehe, stop it!"

[HEY, do you want to listen to me or not!!] Girsha angrily shouted.

Huo long also cough awkwardly 'Get a room guys'
